  • Ohio rolls out new Diebold Voting Machines in time to unseat Kucinich!
    25 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Kucinich’s District (10) is Cuyahoga County and it looks like there is quite a set-up for theft of election underway...
    Right now very expensive campaign ads are being run for Rebecca Ferris (DINO) — and she does not have the $$ to run such ads...
    Also Rethugs are being directed to cross-over during the primary to vote for Ferris (to unseat Kucinich)...
    All of this, IMO, is being done so the Ohio GOP can STEAL THE ELECTION. IMO, there won’t be enough people to cross over to get Ferris (…)

    A Generation’s Defining Event
    By BC Publishers Glen Ford and Peter Gamble
    This Saturday’s elections in New Orleans represent yet another element of the vast crime committed against Black America. With as many as 300,000 residents, overwhelmingly African American, strewn about the country in government- engineered exile, the elections are an insult to the very idea of democracy, and to the dignity of all Black people.
    This farcical exercise in faux democracy will no doubt be followed (…)

  • Cramdown, Stripdown, Lockdown Democracy In The USA
    20 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) was passed on the heels of the Florida 2000 presidential election and its “hanging chad” problem. These ambiguous ballot chads riveted and frustrated the nation for a couple of months in late 2000. However, few thought the solution to the ambiguity of hanging chad evidence of a voter’s intent would be to completely eliminate that evidence.
    With the help of nearly $4 billion in federal grants, HAVA eliminates the evidence of voter intent by (…)

    By JOHN ROSS
    Outgoing Mexican president Vicente Fox’s long-treasured pipedream of an immigration agreement with Washington went up in smoke in early April when Republican senators torpedoed a compromise measure that would have legalized millions of undocumented workers living north of the border and guaranteed hundreds of thousands of unemployed Mexicans short-term jobs in the U.S.
    But the proposed reform carried by Senators Ted Kennedy (Dem Ma.) and John McCain (Rep. Ariz.) would have (…)

    The court said an official announcement about the review would not be made until later Wednesday.
    Prodi said he would not comment until (…)

    Published on Thursday, April 6, 2006 by the Washington Spectator A Culture of Corruption Let’s Save Our Democracy by Getting Money Out of Politics
    by Bill Moyers
    Money is choking our democracy to death. Our elections are bought out from under us and our public officials are doing the bidding of mercenaries. So powerful is the hold of wealth on politics that we cannot say America is working for all Americans. The majority may support such broad social goals as affordable medical coverage (…)
